Café Janson — Restaurant in Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis

Not a place to study, if you bring your computer, they would passive aggressively ask you to leave.

I came here today with my friend to have lunch and study. We arrived at 12.20. We waited for our food and coffee. After we were done eating, We started studying. My friend asked for the wifi password, which is "welovemakingcoffee". Around 13.50 a waiter came over to ask us to turn off our computers due to their policy. Funny thing is that their policy was stated on a board next to Kasa, and it said " no laptop between 11.00AM and 2PM". She came over to tell us about the policy after 1hour we spent studying and just 10 minutes before their policy ends.

They did not ask us to buy something else or move to another side. But they did TURN OFF THE WIFI!!! It is 14.30 now, and the wifi is still off. My friend went to ask about it, and they admitted that they turned it off.

This is passive-aggressive, and I don't understand the logic. I was here 3 weeks ago and there were many people studying. This is not a friendly service. They should either change their policy or implement it better.

The bagel was nice, the...

I do understand they need to make money but they told me to not block a table with my laptop but the place was empty (See pic). I spent more than 10€ for a breakfast and had plan to eat there for lunch. But since I received that remark I ask to stay a bit more in a corner to not "bother them" with my laptop then I left and ate somewhere else.

They cut the wifi on purpose to avoid poeple working there They put loud music for the same reason No laptop are forbidden for... same reason as well

Guys it's time to stop creating dummy problem and try to solve yours by proposing a proper service to you customers. How much am I supposed to pay to stay there? I can find coworking place from 25€/day in Brussels with proper wifi, security for laptop et sometime even good free coffee.

You just lost a regular customer today, I may will come with some friends in the brunch time on Sundays and take 1 expresso for five people and keep some table busy. See where is the problem here?? Very...

We have been here for many time with different friend groups and usually had a good experience. We have been there to sit and we have also gotten things to-go before. Once we have gotten bagels to-go and eaten it inside which was unlikely for us but we had a change of schedule so we just sat inside and didn’t think much of it. Mind you we have been to this cafe multiple times before. Today when we have gotten bagels on our lunch break the cafe was mostly empty and we have paid and recieved our to-go bagels, when we decided we have a little time we sat OUTSIDE in order to eat a bit before our next class. The manager who remembered us from the time before came out and said we couldn’t eat out to-go purches on the outside tables. We have been coming here for most of our breaks and gatherings for coffee or the baked goods but this was unusual for us since we have had sit inside and paid for the services before many many times. It just felt unnecessary and uncomfortable to receive...
